Commelinid characters
• Special type of epicuticular wax• Starchy pollen• UV-fluorescent compounds in the
cell walls• Starchy endosperm (except in the
palms)• Lots of molecular support

Characters of Poales• Silica bodies (in silica cells) in the
epidermis• Styles strongly branched• Loss of raphide (needle-like) crystals in
most• Much molecular support for monophyly• Wind pollination has evolved several
times independently within the order• Ecologically extremely important

Fruit type is the achene: very important inthe taxonomy of the family.

Commelinid Monocots—Poales:
Poaceae (Gramineae)(The Grass Family)
• Cosmopolitan• Primarily herbs, often rhizomatous; “trees” in most
bamboos; stems are called culms, hollow or solid• Diversity: >11,000 species in ca. 650 genera• Flowers: small petals reduced to lodicules; each
flower enclosed by two bracts (lemma and palea) = floret; stamens typically 3; carpels 3, but appearing as 2; fruit a caryopsis
• Significant features: 1-many florets aggregated into spikelets, each with usually 2 empty bracts (glumes) at the base; leaf with a ligule
• Special uses: many – grains, turf, fodder/forage, structural uses (e.g., bamboo).
• Required family

• The fruit wall (pericarp) is completely fused to the seed coat.
• Endosperm (3N; triploid) contains the bulk of starch storage in the seed.
• The embryo is a pre-formed grass plant, with apical meristems (for both shoot and root) and protective organs (coleoptile and coleorhiza) which emerge first during germination.
